According to Ali Hili of Iraqi-LGBT, the Iraqi authorities plan to start executing them in batches of 20 from this week. There is, said Mr. Hili, at least one member of Iraqi-LGBT who are among those to be put to death.

That innocent people die for their sexuality is a moral atrocity. But many thousands of people (mostly women accused of extramarital relations) die in the Islamic world every year. What’s really outrageous is that thousands of American soldiers died and trillions of dollars were paid to support regimes fundamentally opposed to Western values in the name of democracy.

US conservatives helped create the Islamic state of Iraq. How many conservatives will protest the murderous actions of the state they have created? Their silence or mumbled protests are testimony to their intentions for the USA itself.

Conservatives, like leftists, are enemies of reason and egoism — and therefore enemies of individual rights.

Although I find this disgusting, I don’t know why you are shouting out about how terrible it is to end innocent life, but in your article about down syndrome babies you were saying they should be aborted.

I won’t tell you that the new governments in Iraq or Afghanistan are our friends. The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend. The American government should have never endorsed any constitution for Iraq or Afghanistan that enshrined Islam or Sharia law, regardless of what a majority wanted there. However, we have enemies in both places who are determined to destroy us, and will be emboldened if we just leave. We can’t give a victory to Jihadists of any kind. If our troops just leave without crushing them, they will see it as a victory for their side. We are sort of in the middle of a rock and a hard place so to speak. That maybe one of the reasons that our government hasn’t been more vocal speaking out against these atrocities.
